Bill,
Could you have a perfect build sitting out on a drive somwhere and=20
diff the perfect build against the one that was produced?? This seems
like it would be the quickest way to verify the build... If you use
actuall file names in a script etc, it seems like it would be a pain to
maintain as new files are added, deleted, etc. A patterneset would be
nice to confirm the structure of the build and specific files are
there... You could compare the build against a cvs structure, but this
would depend on the structure of your modules, and again whether you
want to verify the existence of files vs. how they were modified during
the install proc..

of thing?
